 Nahziryah Monastic Community
Path of Mystic Enlightenment
The Nazir Order of the Purple Veil.
Blessings and Thanks to our Spiritual Teacher, Founder and Director of Nahziryah Monastic Community, Retreat for Meditation and Wholistic Living, Monastic EcoVillage, The Community of The Purple Lodge, The Nazir Order Of The Purple Veil, In The Degree Of The Ascension – The Reverend Nazirmoreh(ABRD). Rev. Nazirmoreh(All Blessings and Respect Due), is our spiritual teacher and guide. Rev. Nazirmoreh(ABRD) teaches that there are many paths--one goal, many names-one Divine Creator. The Nazir community is monastic, abiding by rules, order, and disciplines. The monastery includes men, women, and children. Resident members live a simple, monastic, communal life- we work hard, meditate, study, and strive daily to overcome the lower ego.
At the monastery,the monastic village; Nahziryah Monastic Community, Retreat for Meditation and Wholistic Living, the resident members do organic gardening to help sustain the community's dietary needs (vegan). To support the community and the effort toward consciousness expansion and further spiritual development, we make and sell art crafts, as well as metaphysical/esoteric/spiritual literature of all faiths, recordings, essential and essence oils, incense, and meditation supplies.
Nahziryah Monastic Community sustains itself through its own laborious efforts, except for the occasional donations given by the few who are sympathetic with the Nazir way of life and are willing and able to help, financially and otherwise, to support the service. The NMC Retreat for Meditation & Wholistic Living is dedicated to providing living space in a natural environment for students of the Baba who choose the monastic life. The Nazir path is for those who hear the call and come to give their All in All in the service of consciousness expansion & further spiritual development of all. Behold the One in All.
Please Note: All inquiries should be address as follows:
All correspondences should be addressed directly to the Reverend - questions, answers, inquiries, requests. All correspondences in truth, in light, in love.

Om, peace be with all
